An 11-year-old girl from Ohio has been charged with the murder of a 2-month-old. Police say the child beat the infant to death while she was staying with the baby and her mother.
Wickliffe police Chief Randy Ice said at a news conference Monday that the 11-year-old, her mother and the baby girl, Zuri Whitehead of Cleveland, were on a couch downstairs when the mother fell asleep at about 3 a.m. Friday.
According to a report from the Associated Press the girl allegedly took the infant, Zuri Whitehead, upstairs and when she returned downstairs Zuri’s head was swollen and she was bleeding.
Police say that when the mother saw the child she immediately called 911. Zuri was taken to the children’s trauma centre in Cleveland where she died.

The mother of the accused girl said that she would babysit to help Zuris mom because she has three older children. Police say the 11-year-old has shown no remorse.
She cannot be tried as an adult because she isn’t 14 but according to AP if she is convicted, she could be sentenced to a juvenile detention facility until she is 21.What is the world coming to?
